Format for Individual Target pages (copy this list to new Target page and then fill in for your target):

*Target (protein/gene name): Viral neuraminidase

*Organism (including strain): Orthomyxoviridae: Influenzavirus A
Etiologic Risk Group (see link below):
*/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):

The flu, also called Influenza, is an infectious disease which is instigated by the influenza virus. Influenza is most commonly experienced with a high fever, runny nose, sore throat, and feeling exhausted. Symptoms typically last than a week and are usually experienced two days after being exposed to the virus. There are three strains of the virus: Type A, Type B, and Type C and all are usually spread though the air. There is typically a global annual outbreak of Influenza, which results in a quarter million to half a million deaths. Viral neuraminidase is an enzyme located on the virus' surface and plays an essential role in the organism virulence. It allows the virus to be released from the host cell and pass on to infect other organisms. Viral neuraminidase work by removing the sialic acid group from a glycoprotein and are also essential for the rapid replication of the influenza virus.
